Can you monitor SOUND from two cameras at the SAME TIME? Or do you have to switch back and forth?

There is a scan function. When on scan it spends a few seconds on the Sound and video on one camera and then spends a few seconds on the sound and video on the next camera until it goes through all of the cameras and then it goes back to the first camera and rotates through again. It does the same thing with the sound when the picture on the monitor is off.

The camera's SCAN mode allows you to rotate between up to four cameras (switching both the audio & video output on the parent unit). According to the manual, when on SCAN mode the video & audio rotate between cameras every 12 seconds.

It won't monitor it simultaneously like on a split screen but its very easy to toggle back and forth between cameras.

You have to switch back and forth between cameras. It doesn't have split screen where you can watch both and listen. Although switching between cameras is done by pushing one button and then it does switch between cameras on its own. There must be a timer or something. I hope that makes sense.

You have to select only one camera to monitor either viewing or listening. And expect the monitor to lose battery power quickly, as well as its ability to recharge while plugged in. We already need to replace it!

You have to switch back and forth. However, the monitor can scan between the different cameras, normally switching about every 10 seconds.

Ginny,Hello. No you can't hear or see both at the same time, but it has a cool feature that will allow it to switch back and forth probably every five or so seconds. This is the third type of monitor we've had and it is hands down the best. Having the ability to pan around the room once your kids are in big girl beds is so nice. You can also talk to them through the mic on the parent unit. The picture quality is great and it has a thermometer. Hope this helps. Isaac

Foscam maybe, I am not sure. There is an app on IOS called Live cameras that will give you multiple screens and control over all your cameras.

Yes, its bidirectional, you can monitor while recording, there is a button called usb2crtl there you switch between whats mixed and what is comming from the computer and send it to your control room or headphones

If you have two cameras using the yellow composite RCA output and are not concerned with audio I can see no reason that you could not do this. Simply connect camera 1 to the #1 input and camera 2 to the #2 input. You could then connect the switch to your monitor with either the #1 or #2 output. Keep in mind that this unit can also handle audio (red & white connections). Hope this helps.

You can us the "scan" feature, where it shows each screen for 15 seconds and switches back and forth (we usually do this overnight so we can hear both kids). Or you can set it to view one camera and manually switch back and forth.

You cannot hear both cameras at once in the split screen mode. In the scan mode, the camera scans both audio and video every 8- 10 seconds.

I actually bought a great app called Foscam Surveillance Pro, it can do 2 way audio, you can pan and tilt from the app and yes it has a mode where you can see all of the cameras at the same time. Its not free as i paid 4.99 for the app but very well worth it. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/foscam-surveillance-pro/id373509500?mt=8

No, you cannot. But the monitor will switch between cameras depending on where it detects noise. I use two cameras - one in each child's room - and if both happen to be crying at the same time, the screen will cycle between them - just depends on who's the loudest

The monitor cycles between both cameras about every 5 seconds. So you can only see the video and hear the audio of one room at time (there's no split screen), but it automatically switches back and forth between the two rooms. You can also set it to stay on one camera and/or manually switch between the cameras.

No. The monitor is scanning between the 2-4 cameras. There is no way to show all cameras at the same time. So, since the sound is associated with the camera...the answer to your question is no. That being said, the scanning is pretty frequent (about every 10 sec) and we have never had a problem missing anything.

Yes. You just need to have 2 inputs on your camera, or an external recorder. Another way is to run one left and one right.

You can do all of the above. Full screen on one, 2 cameras or all 4 at once. If you only connect 2 cameras...go into the setup and disable the other 2inputs...that way you dont have 2 black boxes that say no input or something like that.

I haven't tried doing this, but if you attract one camera in front and one in back, you should be able to tap ( I believe it's the little green button on the side of the monitor). I also would use the camera with the antenna in front, so u should be able to check your front and back. ( FYI make sure both camera r turned on). Hopes this helps if not let me know I will be using my this weekend.Beth

You can only hear one room at a time, even in dual view mode. When you scan, if you only have 2 cameras set up, it only scans between the 2. That's how ours is set up.

I do not use the monitor with multiple cameras attached, but according to the user's manual (page 13 & 14) when you add extra cameras and select the scan mode, it will loop between the cameras every ten seconds.
